Socioeconomic Development and the Growth of Cities: Africa Perspective2023 •
Cities are the driving force for socioeconomic growth and development. Over 75 percent of the global GDP are generated in cities and urban centers. The future of economic growth in Africa lies within the confines of emerging cities, and the role of cities in ecoinomic growth cannot be overemphasized. Future development strategies for new cities must focus on the well-being of its people. Studies have shown that Sub-Sahara Africa is not expected to be urban in the next 25 years. As of 2021, 58 percent of Africa's population lived in rural areas, and Africa is the least urbanized places on earth. In this article, we identified the need for Africa countries to be more urbanised as a necessary condition for economic growth and development. We made comparisons with other developed and developing countries of the world, and the relationship between city development and economic growth. We conclude that that future development strategies for new cities must be people-centered, and integrated with public institutions and infrastructural processes to raise incomes, reduce inequality and improve well-being.

How have Africa's large cities provided economic livelihood and shelter to growing populations amidst the continent's protracted economic crisis of the last three decades? African urban areas have not received as much attention as rural areas, yet the continent is steadily urbanising with profound implications for national economic development and welfare. This book provides fresh insight into the dynamics ofAfrican urban economic growth and associated social and political change. Based on recent city case studies and longitudinal data collection, this book outlines economic trends and key urban theories in an accessible style.
